Then came the addition of the fresh baked honey butter biscuits that attracted even the most diet conscious customers. "They figure that chicken and biscuits are not something to eat every day, but everyone splurges every once in a while, and Krispy Krunchy was the best way to fall off the wagon!" laughed Onebane. But the most far-reaching turning point in the evolution of the brand, the menu and likewise, the increase in sales and profits, was the addition of a breakfast program. "We recognized the phenomenal growth of the breakfast day part in the industry. Our new brand – Sunrise Breakfast – was added to our offering," said Shapiro, Krispy Krunchy's E.V.P. The menu includes self-serve breakfast sand- Krispy Krunchy Foods ( Cont'd. from p. 4) wiches, fresh baked blueberry biscuits, kolaches, empanadas, and of course, its ever popular honey butter biscuits. The next phase in the development of the menu was to expand its lunch and dinner menu by adding the popular Buffalo Wings, served with their own unique sauces. Most recently, based on its experiences in Cajun country where seafood is a mainstay, Krispy Krunchy has introduced another new brand – Kajun Katch – which Onebane boasts "is not only delicious," but "operator-friend- ly," meaning exceptionally easy to pre- pare. Onebane reports that "sales of shrimp and fish are off to a great start and we expect seafood to be a dominant part of our menu for years to come."

WG: The benefits of XLERATOReco hand dryers are both environmental and aesthetic: XLERATOReco hand dryers represent a 95 percent (or more) cost savings when compared to paper towels and eliminate their maintenance and waste. XLERATOReco creates a more hygienic restroom environment with a less than one year return on investment. A peer reviewed (per ISO 14040 stan- dards) Life Cycle Assessment of XLER- ATOR confirmed it reduces the carbon footprint of hand drying by 50-70 per- cent when compared to both traditional hand dryers and even 100 percent recy- cled paper towels. CRSD: What distinguishes your product from the competition? WG: Excel Dryer manufactures the only hand dryers that are Made in the USA Certified, the first to be GreenSpec ® Listed and also help facili- ties qualify for several LEED ® v4 Credits and Green Globes to meet cor- porate or government sustainability goals.

CRSD: How can your product improve business for your customers? WG: Keeping paper towels in stock and refilling dispensers is time con- suming and costly. Oftentimes, paper towels litter public restroom floors, which can negatively impact the cus- tomer experience. Convenience store customers especially rely on the acces- sibility of public restrooms and they do not want to purchase food or beverages from a store that appears untidy. Installing the XLERATOReco hand dryer significantly reduces labor, maintenance and waste while creating a cleaner – more convenient – rest- room environment for customers.
